RE: [APML] 6x7 North American Nebula - From Seattle?

["Jay E. Potts" <jpotts@americanfocus.com>]

Thanks Steve,

Probably the only place in the States, where the prudent astrophotographer
wears a life jacket while imaging. Do you know how tough it is to find a
certified floatation device for a fully loaded German Equatorial Mount!? <g>

BTW... Thanks to everyone for the tips. I will try my best. It seems my
previous post thanking everyone, has been lost in the ethernet. While I
attempt the more challenging processing tasks, I have at least adjusted the
color balance and contrast a bit.

A refresh will probably be necessary for those who wish to see the changes.

Hi Jay, I'd like to second Jim Ives comment--its a darned fine shot!
You didn't mention using a periscope--I thought that would be required in
the
Seattle area!!
